General
The tyre condition and tyre inflation pressure
influence the following:
▷ Tyre service life.
▷ Driving safety.
▷ Driving comfort.
▷ Power consumption.
Safety information
WARNING
A tyre with too little or no tyre inflation pres-
sure can heat up significantly and sustain
damage. Handling characteristics, for exam-
ple steering and braking, will be impaired as
a result. There is a risk of accident. Check the
tyre inflation pressure regularly, for example
twice a month or before any long journey,
and correct as necessary.
Tyre inflation pressure information
On the body pillar
The tyre inflation pressure information is loca-
ted on the body pillar of the driver's door.
The tyre inflation pressures apply to all tyre
sizes and recommended tyre makes that have
been approved by the vehicle manufacturer as
suitable for the model version. The list can also
include tyre sizes that are only suitable in com-
bination with specific equipment.
Information about approved wheels and tyres
for the vehicle can be requested from an au-
thorised Service Partner or another qualified
Service Partner or specialist workshop.
The tyre inflation pressure appropriate for the
respective load conditions should be used. For
partially loaded vehicles, the specified tyre in-
flation pressure for a partially loaded vehicle,
for example, is the optimum tyre inflation pres-
sure.
For Australia/New Zealand
WARNING
The inflation pressures on the tyre label are
applicable only for tyre types explicitly men-
tioned on the label. Tyre inflation pressures
that may be covered by the label – by size,
speed category and load rating/load index –
